Remember to set the drive on the camera to remote. I have a Canon 60d and I have to set the drive to either 2 or 10 second self timer/remote. Also, make sure you're pointing the remote towards the sensor on the front of the camera, it won't work from behind. Lastly, only the top two buttons work on my Canon. Good luck!

http://www.eos-magazine.com/articles/remotes/canonrc6.html by design, Canon put the remote control sensor in the front area of the camera. i believe all of the canons are like that. if you are shooting from the back, some use wired "http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/164276-REG/Canon_2476A001_Remote_Switch_RS_80N3.html"i just peep my sensor over and trigger it :)

You should be able to find and download the drivers from Canon's website but I didnt install it that way.

Look for a break in the cable somewhere, or a faulty push button switch on the transmitter. If it's focusing the camera, the RF section seems to be working. Does the wired unit fire the shutter when used alone, pushing it's button instead of the one on the transmitter? If so, it's the transmitter unit not getting the fire shutter signal out. Check your signal cables if you can. There are 3; A ground, a focus half press, and a fire shutter full press line. Test them if you know how, or know someone who does. What make/model of camera are you using it on?

Not sure if I understand the question but... You have to connect the receiver to the camera via a sync cord. The remote is completely wireless from the receiver and will activate the shutter release. Until it decides to stop working like mine did.

Your camera is most likely not compatible with the device. I purchased one as well for my Olympus only to find out I mis-read the compatible cameras (or as they called it suitable cameras). It turns out the model camera I have is not made to be used with any remote shutter releases, I would check to make sure yours is/isn't. Good luck!

Sounds like the receiver and the remote are not communicating.Sorry I can not help...

After attaching the receiver to your camera look at the front of the device. When you press the shutter button on the remote the receiver should flash a blue light telling you the unit is working. If there is no blue light then press the silver button on the front of the receiver. If that doesn't work then check that you have the dip switches on both receiver and remote set to the same settings. Beyond this I don't know what the problem would be. My unit works fine on my D800. Hope this helps.

I am not sure - do you have a setting for remote control in your menu? I have a NEX 5R and it works okay.

Did you make sure the remote would work with your particular Sony camera? If so, then the next questions is, have you set your camera's drive function to the remote setting? The remote will not activate the camera if the camera is not set to remote. Lastly, the battery that came with the remote could be dead from the factory. Try a fresh battery. Hope this helps.

Lex. I haven't had any problems with mine. Before turning it on, make sure: 1-that the receiver is correctly attached to the camera.2-Don't turn on the transmitter until the camera is connected to the receiver. 3- Raise the antenna and then turn on the transmitter.If this doesn't help, let me know and i'll go thru the procedure with mine while answering you again. I hope this helps.

It could be the camera is triggering the flash, which is possible for Canon. Check the flash setting and make sure it's not set to trigger the flash.

Randy you will have to set your camera to auto mode then set it for 2 seconds timer that's when the remote controls will work

I did not use any menus. Try this...Turn the camera offAttach the device using the cableImportant: Extend the antennae on the remote (I've had it not work right beside the camera until I pull out the antennae)Do a test with the piece attached to the camera. Hit the button on the front, if it takes a picture you know its connected OK.Then test from the remote.Hope this helps.

Not trying to be sarcastic, but did you pull plastic from battery ? I was trying to use mine until I noticed I forgot to remove it. Other than that mine was automatic with my Sony. Hope you get it working. Also, I had to put my camera on a different setting to allow the remote control, I'm not sure on yours but I went into settings and changed it.

Set everything up (flash connected to NPT-04 receiver, everything turned on), and then hit the test button that's on top of the transmitter. Does the flash fire? If it does, then the transmitter is talking to the receiver, and the receiver is talking to the flash. So the problem is the camera isn't talking to the transmitter. You didn't say what camera you're using. On my Sony cameras, "wireless" is for using the pop-up flash to control and fire other flashes. You can do wireless TTL, and use the pop-up flash to be the "commander". That's what "wireless" flash mode is. Obviously that's not what you're doing. So change it to rear or fill flash mode, and see if that works.

Try putting the batteries into the remote first. After you put in the batteries for the receiver, there should be a blinking red light. Immediately press down on the vibrator on the remote and hold it until the receiver is a solid red light and starts vibrating. I had the same problem with both my receivers. But after a few tries it works.
